AAMI 40th Anniversary Book

This commemorative coffee-table style book, published in recognition of AAMI’s 40th anniversary in 2007, examines the evolution of AAMI and the medical device industry over the last four decades. Using pictures and narrative from pioneers in the field, this keepsake explores the role of device regulation, the engineering community, the standards program, and quality systems initiatives.

Anatomy and Physiology

This anatomy and physiology courses were designed to familiarize today's biomedical technician with the basic human body systems and their functions. A thorough understanding of how these systems function will assist greatly in troubleshooting various medical instruments designed to diagnose and monitor them. The level of detail in these courses is on par with what a biomedical technician would need to know, but without the same exhaustive detail that would be necessary for a medical professional. This course was developed using a proved, accredited curriculum and would be a benefit to more experienced BMETs as well as those new in the field. Three discs total 203 minutes.

Benchmarking and the Value of Certification

There’s no shortage of opinions about the value of certification. AAMI’s Benchmarking Solutions—Healthcare Technology Management (HTM), the online benchmarking, best practices, and performance improvement product, includes data about certification and related professional practices. This webinar archive looks at several best practices, including support for certification, and their impact on performance of healthcare technology management programs.

BMET Study Guide: Preparing for Certification, 2015 Edition

Designed for clinical engineers and biomedical equipment technicians to test their knowledge and sharpen their skills, the new BMET Study Guide has 850 interactive questions and answers-each with a detailed explanation.
Covering topics ranging from anatomy and physiology, to electricity and electronics, this is a popular resource for those preparing for the certification exam. It is equally valuable for those just seeking to reinforce their knowledge.

During this webinar, George Mills of The Joint Commission will help participants understand the new requirements and share strategies for compliance. Mr. Mills will be joined by HTM expert Stephen Grimes.

Communicating Effectively with the C-Suite

In the current healthcare climate, it is more critical than ever for biomeds and clinical engineers to be able to communicate the value they bring to healthcare facilities to members of the “C-Suite,” such as chief financial officers, chief executive officers, chief medical officers, and other high-level staff. This webinar is intended to help participants effectively communicate with the C-Suite.
